I believe he references Diane Arbus. That would then be “Identical Twins, Roselle, New Jersey, 1967″.

Great transcript. Thanks for sharing. It’s a credit to his legacy that we’re still puzzling over Zenmaster Garry’s ideas 25 years after his death.

This interview is on my iPod and it comes on every once in a while when I’m in my darkroom. I usually listen to it when it comes up on shuffle. Thanks for transcribing it here. I’m not sure you can really caputre the background noise and chuckles on paper though. One of the great interviews. Thanks again!
